Learning to Drive, Taste Testing, and Brother Love - All Things Rilyn

Rilyn has been up to a lot lately and LOVES to keep us busy!  What has she been up to??

Driving - Yep, Rilyn has decided that she should learn to drive before she is potty-trained.  Her interest in vehicles started with her papa and him letting her hang out in his car for a whole day while we were working in the garage.  She also got to go for drives with him around our little neighborhood.  Since then her favorite past-time is hanging out in the Jeep, and although she does love her daddy it might seem like she loves him just for his jeep because every day when he gets home she squeals in delight and then says, "beep."  Meaning let's go dad we have some driving to do.



Taste Testing - Rilyn's second favorite past-time is helping us cook; however, she is more of a taste tester than a chef.  If you don't give her a little snack to munch on while you cook she will get her grubby little hands on whatever it is you are making - way before it's ready.  She has eaten raw eggs, cold refried beans, uncooked oats, and other items I might think are non-edible.  And it's not like you can just keep it away from her...she is strong and determined to get it in her mouth and she ALWAYS does.

Loving on her brother - Rilyn still loves her brother so much and is so amazing with him.  She is such a little mama and is so good to him!

Hello!  Can these two look anymore alike?



In other news...Ryder is doing great and I have even been getting a one 4 hour stretch of sleep a night!!  The dogs are very over protective just as they were with Rilyn.  Porter stays pretty close to the baby and Zoe is positive he needs to be licked continuously if he is crying and not attended to immediately.

Apparently, when Ryder does tummy time every one does tummy time...



And yesterday it was a beautiful cloudy rainy day and my favorite day so far in the house because I LOVE those days.  Monkey Mountain was just as pretty covered in fog.
